Boardman River Frontage- “Trout Trifecta†Imagine landing three fish in a single day; Rainbow, Brook and Brown! You can do it right here! The rivers include Au Sable, Manistee and our own Boardman PLUS a completely and skillfully rebuilt four season cabin on 10 acres of land; the parcel is divided by the North Branch of the Boardman River (aka The Ottaway). 25 miles west of the property one will find all the amenities of Traverse City, and, 25 miles to the east are the blue ribbon waters of the Manistee and Au Sable Rivers. The North Branch of the Boardman is a Type 1 trout stream (all tackles, limit of 5) hosting native brookies and browns (and this population includes some larger “cannibals†that prowl the currents in the nighttime). Very nearby is Guernsey Lake, part of The Sand Lakes Quiet Area, with waters yielding largemouth bass, yellow perch, bluegills and stocked browns. This is a quality built fishing cabin with an old shed that keeps firewood dry and the canoes out of sight (two Old Town canoes are included … both have seen some water and are true to the paddle and the oar. ) Beyond fishing, this is an excellent spot for wildlife viewing, hiking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling or quiet reading by the cozy wood stove. Offered fully furnished or not!
